    Why is no reply received after a call on Icom ID-51A Transceiver?
    • R
      Richard ChandlerAug 28, 2025
      If you are not receiving a reply after making a call on your Icom Transceiver, ensure that the duplex is not set, and the receive and transmit frequencies are not different. Set the simplex operation. Also, consider that no station may be in range or on the same frequency; wait for a while and try again.

    Why does my Icom Transceiver repeater reply ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the access repeater’s call sign after my call?
    • R
      Robert HammondSep 14, 2025
      If the repeater replies ‘RX’ or ‘RPT?’ and the access repeater’s call sign after your call, your own call sign (MY) may not have been set (set your own call sign (MY)), or your own call sign (MY) may not have been registered on a gateway repeater, or the registered contents do not match your transceiver’s setting (register your own call sign (MY) on a gateway repeater, or confirm the registration of the call sign).

    What does 'L' on the LCD of Icom ID-51A mean?
    • L
      Lisa RiosSep 23, 2025
      If 'L' appears on the LCD after transmitting, while receiving through the internet, some packets may be lost due to network error. Wait a while and try it again. When the transceiver receives corrupted data and misidentifies it as packet loss, 'L' is displayed, even if it is a local area call.

    Why is transmitting impossible with my Icom Transceiver?
    • R
      Rachel CamposAug 26, 2025
      If you cannot transmit with your Icom Transceiver, first ensure that the transmit power level isn't set too low (S-LOW, LOW1, or LOW2); if it is, set it to HIGH. Check the battery; if it's exhausted, charge or replace it. If you're using a battery case, switch to the battery pack or external DC power and set the power level to HIGH. Finally, verify that the PTT Lock and Busy Lockout functions are deactivated in the Function Menu.

    • N
      Nathaniel StricklandAug 26, 2025
      If the frequency cannot be set, the Key Lock function may be activated (hold down [LOCK] for 1 second to cancel it), or the memory mode, Call channel mode, Weather channel mode, or DR function is selected (push [V/MHz] to select the VFO mode).
